Well I downloaded several vids of the game and had them on a pen drive to watch on my xbox 360 and i guess it was two much for it because the darn thing just red ringed on me… this is the second system in as many years.:-(

at least I have some time to send it in to microsucks before GB comes out though if this were the week before I would really be flipping..(*peter)

See, many people don't realize that, just because they haven't had any problems with their 360s, that they are somehow “safe”. It's not a matter of if, but when, their systems will decide to go RROD on them. A couple of weeks ago, I was talking to one of my co-workers, who owns a 360, and I told him about the E 74 error, and asked him if he was worried about it, he said no, but a couple of days later, when I saw him at work, he asked me if I was a phsycic, because his system died, and that he got that error.

Now I'm not going to go into the whole “you should get a PS3” banter, because you can do whatever you want, but I still can't understand why people still continue to buy 360s, when there is a very good chance that it will most likely end up right back at MS for repairs?

I got E71 error….

Because they like them. You don't need to understand it. As long as they're happy and you're happy, why would you let it trouble you? Relax.

I don't let it trouble me, but every time, I hear (after all that has already happened) people react with surprise, when their 360s die, it just gets frustrating. Here's a little scenario that will help you understand were I'm coming from:

Say you and your friend, walk into a bar (any retail stores) to get a beer (a 360), and when the bartender (MS), gives you your beer, he SLAPS you across the face (RROD, E 74), and your friend advises you that maybe you should go some place else (try a different system/manufacturer), but you continue to keep getting, beer/a slap in the face, and then on the next day, you decide to go back to that same bar, while your friend continues to try and warn you about the slap in the face, yet you go anyway, after telling your friend to piss off, and then are surprised when the bartender gives you your beer, and then…slaps you across the face. Now how do you think your friend would feel, after trying to give you good advice, on how to NOT get a slap in the face, but was told MYOB?

Yes, I know that that was a little unnecessary, but once I started typing, it was hard to stop.(*ray)

I don't try to tell people what they should or shouldn't do, cause' that's not me, but it's kind of hard to sit back and watch so many people get ripped off/“slapped in the face” (whether they know/care, or not), over, and over again, and not say anything.

And Rob? I do agree with you, and I'm not trying to pick on people who have/wan't to buy 360s. I just hope that MS get's their Sh*t together soon, cause' when they do, I might just pick one up.

Stop whining like a sissy and buy a PS3.

That wasn't very nice! True!…but not very nice.

The thing you are not taking into consideration is that when not if the slap in the face comes as you so eloquently put it…the bartender gives you a free beer.

Additionally a lot of people prefer that bar, not the service, since it has a better social network of people.

Crude and bluntly to the point as always…eh Yehome?
